had to share this with my new friends cos im sooo excited

Hi all, you  may know that im really new to this and admit that I started late this spring, but last night I had a quick walk around my plot after work and was very excited to find little white heads appearing on my cauli's and brocolli heads forming on my brocoli and my inside cucumber (the only one which survived) has 3 little tiny cucumbers on it.

I have also been successful this year with 12 cabbages, 6 radishes, onions galore and lots of beans and lettuce.  Im not yet "The good life" but am very happy today, the only thing is it seems a shame to pull things up and eat them when youve gon to such trouble to grow them.

Is this a natural feeling a bit like your children leaving home for university or to live some where else?

hehe thanks for listening

Happy growing love Jools

Well done with the veg , if the cold weather gets to the cucumber plant don`t forget you can put little cuc`s in vinegar for homegrown gherkins.

I hope it's normal, because I always feel like that.

Great ain't it!

We tried cucumber for the first time this year and weren't sure if it would work up here. They were wonderful!

I stil get that feeling when digging up spuds.

I've still got a couple of peppers left and toms in the greenhouse.  I've got sprouts, celeriac, leeks, swedes, parsnips and fennel still in the ground   Its wonderful.
